Notice of Intent to Sole Source--Portable Brain Hematoma Detector

The United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), Fort Detrick, MD intends to award a sole source contract to Infrascan, Inc. for the continued development of a portable brain screening device for the detection of subdural, epidural and intracerebral hematomas.

The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii).

In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii) USAMRAA intends to award a sole source contract to Infrascan, Inc., Philadelphia, PA under NAICS 541715.

This notice of intent is for information purposes only, therefore, no solicitation will result from this announcement. All sources eligible to provide this service must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly be able to provide services outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no responses are received within fifteen (15) calendar days, 17 July 2020, after publication of this notice, to the effect that comparable supplies and services are available, and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining these services through a sole-source contract, then a sole source contract award will be made. Response to this notice should be sent to toloria.s.duvall.civ@mail.mil.
